Hi, How do you access an elements tag value during a simulation (using Javascript)? For example, if an activity diagram has an action "AAA" and a tag set to throughput = 55. How would you write Javascript to print "55"?

Hi - I am working on building a simulation to understand what the total processing time will be for N processes that run, some of which will be parallel and some dependency driven. I would like to have a parametric model for each process and one that chains all of the processes together. I know how to create individual parametric models. But, how do you link constraint blocks to one another or the outputs of one to another's input?

I tried creating a property (of a constraint block) per a process in 1 diagram but that would not be manageable given the # of processes and different inputs. Is there a good resource (cookbook, tutorial) that explains how to setup complex parametric models?

I have lost the 'File' Dropdown on the Main Menu Toolbar and I can't figure out how to get it back. Help describes how to hide options in the drop downs but I didn't see anything on hiding the top level element like 'File'. Any ideas?

Hi, I am generating a document with a sequence diagram and I am trying to understand how to write a query to get the description off of the operation on the component object. Does anyone know how to link the operation on the sequence line to the component's operation?

Here are the steps I am taking:On Sequence Diagram add components as an 'instance'On sequence lines, select an operation defined on the component.

The query below returns the description on the sequence line on the diagram.SELECT c.SeqNo, c.Name as FUNCTION_NAME, c.Notes as DESCRIPTION, c.SourceConstraint AS IMPACTFROM t_connector AS c WHERE (c.Connector_Type = 'Sequence') AND (c.DiagramID = #INSERT DIAGRAM ID#)ORDER BY c.SeqNo

From the object model and the queries I have tried it's not clear how to map the operation on the sequence back to the component's operation. Do you know what tables I need to look at to do a join on?

Hi - I am looking to simulate roughly 150 batch jobs and would like to get some guidance on how to best set this up based on the criteria below.

I recently started using Sparx and am running Ultimate Edition v10.0.1006. I have been reading the docs and can run a simulation on a basic activity diagram (i.e. events in an Action) and I am starting to follow the SysML and Paramater/Constraint settings (though it is not 100% clear).

From the simulation, I would like to capture:- estimated total batch duration for peak load for yr 1, 2, .. 10 for each Division (1..5)- estimated total batch duration for avg load for yr 1, 2, .. 10 for each Division (1..5)- estimated individual job start time / end time based on avg and peak load for yr 1..10 for each division (based on chained predecessor or defined start time)- graph ideally showing the batch duration for avg/peak load (plot to graph)- identify if SLAs are not met

Data inputs - I have a spreadsheet with daily average and peak volumes for a 10yr period for 5 divisions, predecessor(s), throughput estimates, SLAs (i.e. must complete by) and a lot more other details not listed here. Some jobs include a defined start time and occurs when there is no predecessor.

Is there anyone that can provide guidance on how to best simulate this in Sparxs?
